I once filed a Bankruptcy for a single mom, who brought her 4-year-old son to my office. My client explained to her son why they had to be there. After two hours of work, the little boy quietly played with his video game and a few times, he respectfully interrupted and would ask his mom a question. As I stepped out of my office for a few minutes, I asked my client if it was ok for her son to have some chocolates that were in a bowl on my side table. She said yes.
My client later told me that while I was away, her son saw the fake million dollar bill that was next to the bowl of chocolates.
He exclaimed "Mom! Is that what I think it is?” She answered “Yes, it’s a Million Dollars! So, should we take it?” He answered "Oh no Mom! We can’t do that to her.”

4. My Parents would often ask me if being a Bankruptcy Attorney bothers or depresses me.
In all my years of practice, my answer has been no.
Why? Each person has a story and I consider it a privilege when folks allow me to help them. So each day, I do my best to try to improve their lives or stories.
5. I must admit, I am truly grateful to my clients. They are quite amazing people. Even through the worst of times, they find the strength and determination to fight to make things better.
